Carico Lake, Bisbee 'Lavender Pit', Number 8

Looking to see if this piece may have makers name that someone recognizes. Thanks!

The webbing is just perfection, the coloring the same. This is an investment piece, that only gets more valuable with time. All of the turquoise is sound and intact with no cracks, fault lines

"The Dreamer" collection, a distinct line launched by Margaret Thurman in the mid-to-late 2000s. While her main line is stamped Echo of the Dreamer, pieces featuring the block text stamp

THE DREAMER represent a specific era and branch of her work. Here is what that tells us about its timeline:

Production Window: This specific signature stamp was primarily used on collections designed between the mid-2000s and the 2010s.

The Style Evolution: The Dreamer line shifted toward slightly cleaner, highly structured geometric sterling settings—exactly like the sharp, square-angled frame holding that incredible spiderweb turquoise slab.

The Materials: It still retains her absolute favorite, unmistakable color contrast of rich turquoise paired with faceted peridot.

absolutely stunning statement piece, all that's needed is a black outfit and some cute stud earrings, maybe some sparkly slides!

These boxes have been sitting for decades and slowly I'm going through them. Here's some I found

I am really interested in these Sarah Elise jeweler brand earrings but they are priced at $660! I emailed the company and asked for the type of turquoise they use and where it was sourced- they told me it’s authentic sleeping beauty sourced from Arizona.

Since they seem like a reputable jeweler and the price is so high I want to believe that they are authentic but wondering if anybody has thoughts on the authenticity?

I bought this cuff on eBay about a year ago. It was listed as a vintage Sleeping Beauty turquoise sterling silver cuff. I know it’s impossible to authenticate turquoise or identify the mine from photos alone, but I’d love to hear opinions from people with more experience.
The cuff is about 2½ inches wide, stamped STERLING (no maker’s mark), and I paid $340 for it.
The silver cuff rails are fairly shiny, but the back has a darker patina, so I’m wondering if it may have just been polished over the years. The cluster work looks hand fabricated to me, but I’m definitely not an expert.
A few of the stones have tiny tan/brown inclusions, while most are a bright robin’s egg blue with very little matrix. Does that look consistent with genuine turquoise? And does anything about the construction or style suggest that it’s actually vintage?
I’m not looking for a definitive authentication—just interested in hearing whether this looks consistent with:
Genuine turquoise vs. imitation/reconstituted
Possibly Sleeping Beauty turquoise
A vintage Navajo/Southwestern piece
I’d really appreciate any thoughts or observations. Thanks!

Wondering if anyone has any ideas on what this might be

Both were this gorgeous almost robins egg blue color with golden tan lines. Do you know what mine they are? Found at an antique store in Colorado

First cab I’ve ever made 😊 Was sold as Mexican rough,any body any idea of a specific location?

Hello friends! I recently bought this 14k gold and turquoise ring, and I’m wondering if it’s Native American.

I have a ton of Navajo/Zuni/Hopi sterling silver & turquoise jewelry, all of which is either stamped/signed by the artist or very early, explaining the lack of a maker’s mark. This piece does not appear to be “early”, given what I know about the techniques used on more primitive, pre-signed work.

My best guess is that the signature was somewhere along the shank, which appears to have been adjusted (probably to be sized smaller) at some point. But if that was the case, what jeweler would just outright remove it, rather than work around it?

Anyway, if any of you can tell me about this ring—the age, the origin, the maker, anything—I will be eternally grateful! Thanks for taking a look.
